I have a friend who met Matt Damon on several occasions by accident- she was traveling for business and her company placed her in the same hotel where Damon was staying. She kept running into him at random in the lobby, the bar etc. One day she was waiting for the elevator, the doors open, and Matt Damon is standing there, and she says to him, "you've got to stop doing this" and he laughed. We have a running joke about Matt Damon stalking her. She said he's really nice, though.

About 15 years ago when I was a kid, I was sitting on a plane while everyone was boarding. I was wearing a Yankee hat. From out of nowhere, someone said to me: "Yankees suck." I looked up, and it was Matt Damon, in full denim, wearing a Red Sox hat. We laughed. I couldn't believe it. Later while in flight, the movie that was showing was Ocean's 12. I went up to first class and asked Matt if he would sign my plane program over the Ocean's 12 blurb. He asked my name and happily signed. That program was pinned to my refrigerator until I went to college. He couldn't have been a nicer guy. We were on our way back from Miami and I later found out that he had just proposed to his girlfriend who is still his wife.

The Will Hunting character did cuss a lot. He had a rough life, and a hard childhood, was abused by his stepfather, and so cussing a lot made him feel tough , to mask his vulnerabilities. However, his therapist, played by Robin Williams, did not normally use that kind of language, but copied Will’s language during the sessions. Most people theorize that it was to prove to Will that he did not feel superior to him.

[@isaacster5027]

I remember when I had a therapist for a little bit that he cursed a lot too. Didn't feel natural at all, totally felt like he was rubbing it in lol

what sort of lunatic are you to not be a fan of his?

[@comicsauniversalalliance8669]

For me a lot of it has to do with how I see them appear not acting. I'd give credit to where credits due, I loved Good Will Hunting, mostly for Robin Williams, but I won't take away that I think Damon was good in that movie. But in almost any/everything I've seen him in publicly I think he's always come across as like a High school Jock who hasn't grown up. But, this interview, and that joke, certainly made me realize he's more aware of the world, and not so self-absorbed as I had initially thought.

He grew up neighbors to Howard Zinn and was the voice for the audiobook version of A People's History of the US.

could care less if you were a fan of his or not. Just shows how easily swayed you are. Good thing you have principals. This..this is why you are a fan of his now. 40 years from now they will play one of his older movies on TV and you will say to your friends in your moms basement "i like that bourne guy ha! he ripped on roy moore that one time. hes good people!". Yeah.. brilliant. Thanks again for being honest with us

That song at the end was so good.

[@Rennpanzer]

That soundtrack was AMAZING.

[@GiSWiG]

The opening sequence of Spirit is one of my favorite opening scenes if not my most favorite opening ever. (I cannot think of any contenders at the moment)

[@chrissunday9857]

Jason Bourne...That character made me love this guy so much....

[@robmckay875]

Anyone remember when blockbuster used to count the swears in movies and advertise them on the box. (Might of been Rodgers Video)

[@josem.5922]

Great movie, seems like a cool guy

[@lynnowens5004]

Jose M. He does seem like a cool guy -& he doesn’t act like some major stars!

[@yisraelkatz1958]

This is the only place online I've ever seen Matt Damon mention Spirit. I was worried he forgot about such an awesome movie

[@ianturnbow7011]

I cannot hear, think of, or say Matt Damon's voice without the Team America: World Police styling of his voice ringing through my head.

[@S33k3R7]

Matt Damon is 49. How about that for a "of fuck, im getting old" moment.

[@jean-francoisroux7064]

Matt, you are simply the best 😁!

"Mr. Matt Damo--oh I'm getting word we've run out of time."😎
